There we’ll be, living in a suburban colony on Beta Zeta IV, the ground will be covered with burgandy spiky plants and the noon sky will be a lovely salmon color with vermillion clouds… And still the suburbanites will insist on go out every Saturday and trimming the burgandy spiky ground cover to a height of 4 to 7 cm. (Except on putting surfaces, where it will be trimmed lower.)

1) the incoming spectrum was far from white. For the most part, this would only be the case, subjectively speaking, for beings who didn’t evolve there. However, you could have the incoming spectrum changing over time:
1a) in orbit around a gas giant which has a color significantly distinct from the sun
1b) binary system with noticeable secondary of different mass

2) the upper atmosphere contains a significant amount of plasma with emission lines in some other color

Being red/green colourblind I have to say I’d not be surprised to learn grass isn’t red already. The pictures of what I assume is red grass look exactly like normal grass to me. The purple is the only one I can see the difference in.
